Faith of the West

The Faith of the West and the Vachai Faith are the most common names by which the religion of the Vachai people is known. The Vachai religion is a complex system of polytheistic and beliefs and rituals, and it is an integral part of Vachai society. It centers on the Vachai's interaction with many deities who are believed to be present in, and in control of, the forces of nature.

The Vachai form of polytheism is highly structured into "strata" of deities that are closely related to the social hierarchy of Vachai society. The most "important" deities belong to the highest strata; the highest are the "High" or "Primordial" gods: Ardo, Sadrie, Coirie, Rago and Tisso. The practice of the Faith is regulated by various Temples dedicated to the worship of singular deities; there are several temples dedicated to the same gods, and most of them pay tribute to the "Titular" temples, the main temples where each god's High Priest or Priestess is based. Most of the Titular Temples are located in Corienor.
